The Bella Vista in Te Anau is a great place to stay and base yourself when visiting Fiordland. It is perfect for access to all of the major tourist attractions and close to all amenities at the end of the day. The Janelle and Selby made us feel like we were old friends from the moment we arrived. Would highly... More

Dear Polarsky, We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay with us and as always, it is our great pleasure to meet such great people. While the Milford road has been temporally closed it has given the opportunity for many to see our other great wonder called Doubtful Sound, a much bigger and more remote area than Milford Sound and...

Absolutely nothing is too much trouble for Hosts Janelle and Selby ... delicious home-baked muffins on arrival, an upgraded suite and even lovely fresh tomatoes from the vegie garden!Wonderful accommodation within walking distance of Te Anau's main street and lake. Certainly hope to return in the future.

We recently stayed at this very nice, comfortable motel where we were warmly welcomed by our friendly host, Selby who promptly presented us with freshly cooked muffins as we booked in. Nothing was too much trouble and our accommodation provided everything we could wish for - except a lake view! This motel is excellent value for money and we would... More

Visiting from Australia. Spent 3 nights in this wonderful town taking in the sights of Lake Te Anau and the fabulous Milford Sound. Hosts Selby and Janelle are amazing! We were greeted with fresh home cooked (Janelle) muffins on our arrival and again early this morning as we set out for the day! Superb! The motel is spotlessly clean, quiet,... More

We could not have wished for a more helpful and informative guide to the attractions in the local area. The welcome was exceptionally warm and the accommodation was very clean and practical. Location was very good and was great value for money. Loved the area surrounding and would love to go back again!

We were a group of 16 and stayed for 2 nights while visiting Milford Sound. A good choice as it happened. Whilst some units may be small this is made up for by quiet location, cleanliness of the motel and the extra cosy beds. Add to that the attention and thoughtfulness of the wonderful hosts - Janelle and Selby. Not... More

When arriving at Bella Vista, one is struck by the attractiveness of the modern design, in bright and simple colours. Location next to a quiet park suited us, away from the hustle and bustle of the main street.
